2 Description et utilisation prévue
Français

Utilisation prévue
Le dispositif LCSU 4 est un dispositif d'aspiration médical, électrique et portable, destiné à être utilisé pendant des déplacements ou
sur les lieux de vie des patients. Il permet d'aspirer de façon intermittente les sécrétions, le sang ou les vomissures du patient et de
maintenir le passage de l'air vers les poumons pour permettre la ventilation. Des niveaux de vide élevés sont en général nécessaires en
cas d'aspiration de l'oropharynx tandis que des niveaux de vide plus faibles sont recommandés en cas d'aspiration de la trachée, ainsi
que chez l'enfant et le nourrisson.
